The verdict
Nice holds 10 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #26,983 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Nice North America Llc has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing Nice North America Llc at rank #26,983 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Nice North America Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nice sits between New Way Tools Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,979) and Ningbo Sanhan Alloy Material Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #26,987) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.6/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Nice North America Llc's 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nice North America Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Nice's 10 grants land it in the top 8% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
